Minor Scale The Harmonic Minor

The harmonic minor scale almost similar to the Natutal minor scale except for one thing the seventh note is raised for a half tone. This makes the harmonic minor scale has its unique sound character some sort like classical, or there people say that it sound like a little bit like indian or arabic music scale. Now its used in most music genre like rock even, Yngwie J Malmsteen and other big name using it.

Lets take an example from a scale, Bminor for an example: remember! The 7th note of the minor natural scale is raised to halftone. it will become:

1st note: B
2nd note: C#
3rd note: D
4th Note: E
5th Note: F#
6th Note: G
7th Note: Bflat(Original in Natural minor is note A=>raised halftone=Bflat)

I give you another example on another key. The F# harmonic minor scale on the diagram will be more presentable.

Try to familiarise this scale until u get use to it.
